SSA requests information on Form
SSA-3371-BK to provide disability interviewers, as well as
applicants or claimants in self-help situations, with a convenient
means to record information about the claimant's pain or other
symptoms. The State disability determination services (DDS)
adjudicators and administrative law judges then use the information
to assess the effects of symptoms on function for purposes of
determining disability under the Social Security Act. The
respondents are applicants for or claimants of Supplemental
Security Income (SSI) benefits.

When we last cleared this IC in
2019, the burden was 62,500 hours. However, we are currently
reporting a burden of 1500 hours. This change stems a decrease in
the number of responses from 250,000 to 1,500. This decrease stems
from a decrease in the number of respondents completing Form
SSA-3371. There is no change to the burden time per response.
Although the number of responses changed, SSA did not take any
actions to cause this change. These figures represent current
Management Information data. * Note: The total burden reflected in
ROCIS is 1,725, while the burden cited in #12 of the Supporting
Statement is 375. This discrepancy is because the ROCIS burden
reflects the following components: field office waiting time + a
rough estimate of a 30-minute, one-way, drive burden. In contrast,
the chart in #12 of the Supporting Statement reflects actual
burden.
